Magicz Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 As above really, you can't choose the EPL,La Liga, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, Serie A or any other top divisions in the country you've selected. So what lower league side are you most excited about in FM 12? I'm really excited about using my local team (where I'm a season ticket holder) Tonbridge Angels in the Blue Square South but apart from that I think that AFC Wimbledon would be quite good to use, especially after promotion. What about you lot? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krald Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Colwyn bay most likely, I like the idea of developing them and having welsh players come through (I'm not welsh, but I like the underdog). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. I love bringing players through and seeing them develop in the side. I hope to do that with the Angels. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braundjoh Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 My standard Dartford save should be good, and I'll hope to give Tonbridge Angels a good smashing And Leicester should be quite a fun save as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom_numbers Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Middlesbrough, obv. Project Emnes is nearing completion, Haroun and Martin should be pretty decent, and FM has never managed to replicate just how injury-prone midfield maestro Kevin Thomson is.

Ah, excellent! They were promoted for real then? I'm currently playing a long lower league management save. I started the game with BSP/BSN/BSS loaded and went on holiday for a year. I chose one of the newly promoted teams into the BSS that year which happened to be Tonbridge Angels! Now I'm in 2021 and we're currently sitting pretty in League 2 hopefully to be promoted this season! I'm enjoying the game a lot and if I do a similar save for FM12 then I can see me choosing them again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam bell Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Not exactly in keeping with the OPs question in that MLS is the top division in the US, but I am lookin forward to playing in that league. Never done a save there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Brazil's 3rd division in general (Someone mentioned it and I tried out Ituiutaba, it was pretty hard but managed to promote them, but only that, because then I lost in the semi-finals against Juventude 1-2 and 1-1).

Somebodyfoolish Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I always play with low league teams. One of my favourites is Oriental from Lisbon in Portuguese third level. I like the name, managing a small team in the shadow of the big ones in the same town. I dream of taking a low league team like that and transforming it to a big team on national and international level, but it never works in FM. But then, very little works in FM if you try to do things on your own way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

heathxxx Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Cádiz CF - Spanish Segunda B4. Featuring quite a few players on loan from Granada CF, plus several young Udinese players too. 24,500 capacity stadium with around 7,000 season ticket holders. Nice but (should be...) relatively easy challenge to mirror the consecutive promotions achieved by Granada CF in the last two seasons. The link between the two clubs is Quique Pina, Granada CF president, who has brought his father in to run things at Cádiz. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
